Reception
Chris Kellner of DTP Entertainment, which handled the game's German localization, reported its lifetime sales between 10,000 and 50,000 copies in the region.[2]
Comrad of Absolute Games described the game as a classic that should be a staple in a gamer's collection.[3] Gry reviewer Michael Zacharzewski said the game made an important statement to the world that Sweden has a thriving game development industry, something that may have been in question at the time.[4] Thorsten Wiesner of German site Golem thought the game had a good story with a lot of wasted potential.[5] Game Guru praised its soundscape and music.[6] PC Player thought the game design was unimaginative and the puzzles were hollow.[1]
